Recipe of the Month

Guy's Hot Chocolate

In a large saucepan combine the milk and coffee beans. Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce the liquid, and simmer the mixture for about 5 minutes. In a bowl whisk together the cocoa powder and sugar. Slowly whisk the cocoa mixture into the milk. Return the liquid to a boil and strain the hot cocoa into a warm coffee or tea pot ready for serving. Serves 4 to 6.

NOTE: To adjust the hot cocoa to your taste, increase or decrease the amount of powder you use. To make the cocoa creamier and richer, add 1/2 cup of heavy cream to the milk.
